The Rise of the Shen Family
v1 Chapter 309: The goodwill of the lord
After a moment of greeting, the middle-aged man raised the saucer in his hand and said with a smile:
"Come to Junior Brother, how about a taste of my spiritual tea from the City Lord's Mansion?"
Hearing this, Shen Jinghua nodded politely, then picked up the tea cup on the side table and took a sip.
Following the entrance of the tea, Shen Jinghua couldn't help being surprised, a look of approval flashed in his eyes, and slowly said:
"Although the entrance of this tea is plain, but it is endless aftertaste, it is really good tea!"
"Since the younger brother likes it so much, I will prepare some to take away for the younger brother before leaving!"
"Brother, this is not necessary!"
"No need to be polite!"
Although Shen Jinghua tried his best to resign, the middle-aged man was not polite with him, and directly began to order his subordinates to prepare.
……
After three rounds of tea, Shen Jinghua suddenly remembered something, and looked at the middle-aged man with incomprehension in his heart.
This Yunbei City, as a huge city directly controlled by the sect, can bring countless wealth to the sect every day.
And this City Lord's Mansion is the official institution set up by the sect to manage the order of the entire city, and it has absolute rights in this Yunbei City.
In this way, the post of the city lord who controls the city lord mansion has naturally become an important post with heavy power.
Therefore, for the benefit of the sect, the position of the city lord has always been directly sent by the sect to assume the position, and the noble family in this city will never be allowed to assume the position of the city lord!
And this middle-aged man is a disciple of a family in this city, so he is unlikely to be able to serve as the city lord!
……
Suddenly, Shen Jinghua said with a smile but a smile:
"If Brother Brother I remember correctly, Brother Song should be a member of the family... Then what is the role of the city lord...?"
Facing Shen Jinghua's question, the middle-aged man couldn't help showing an intriguing look on his face.
Although Shen Jinghua did not clarify what he said, he already understood what Shen Jinghua meant.
I saw, he took a sip of the teacup from the side table, and then slowly explained:
"The matter is simple to say. The brother who was sent by the original sect to be the city lord suddenly retreats, and the seat of the city lord is vacant.
And the Zongmen did not accept the order of the new city lord for a while, just let me be the acting city lord, brother. "
"Agent City Lord?"
Hearing this, Shen Jinghua couldn't help but stunned for a moment, then asked back.
"According to the rules of the sect, disciples of our aristocratic family cannot serve as the city lord, so brother, I can only be regarded as the acting city lord!"
The middle-aged man took a sip of tea again and said lightly.
"Okay, let’s stop talking about brother, brother, let’s talk about yourself, brother, why did you come to this City Lord’s Mansion suddenly?"
Seeing that the other party had already asked, Shen Jinghua was not polite. He directly took out the hunted jade slip that he had just obtained from the commander from his storage bag and handed it to the middle-aged man.
"Brother, take a look at this jade slip first!"
Looking at the jade slip that Shen Jinghua handed over, the middle-aged man couldn't help showing a strange look on his face. Obviously he had recognized that this was the jade slip used by the city lord's mansion for investigating the case!
I saw, he took the jade slip that Shen Jinghua handed over, and then started to check it.
After a few breaths, his spiritual consciousness retreated from the jade slip and looked at Shen Jinghua with a puzzled expression.
"Brother, is there anything wrong with this ban?"
"There is nothing wrong with this warrant. Junior brother just wants to ask, is this senior brother sent out from here?"
Shen Jinghua shook his head first, and then asked with a serious face.
Facing Shen Jinghua’s question, the middle-aged man immediately denied:
"Brother, I haven't approved this warrant here!"
"Why does this shop have anything to do with the younger brother?"
"You tell me, brother, this shop was opened by a junior in my Shen family, and now I'm an elder who is too embarrassed not to come forward!"
Shen Jinghua showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said in a deep voice.
"This matter is a long story, I will tell my brother slowly to my brother!"
In this way, Shen Jinghua will tell the middle-aged man what happened in this shop and the scene that happened just now in front of the shop.
……
At the same time, in another room in the city lord’s mansion, both Shen Ruiling and Shen Hong were placed here.
I saw that Shen Hong and his wife were a little fidgety pacing around in the room, with anxious expressions on their faces, obviously very worried about their situation.
On the other side, Shen Ruiling seemed to be much calmer, sitting on the chair for herself and meditating quietly.
After all, he knows that his sixth uncle will not do things that are unsure. The sixth uncle let a few of them stay here, obviously in order to better solve today's affairs!
After a long time, seeing that the two of them had been dangling there, Shen Ruiling frowned slightly and said in a displeased tone:
"Don't worry about the two of you, things will be taken care of!"
"Yes!"
Although their hearts are still uneasy, they dare not show it in front of Shen Ruiling now.
……
Here, after hearing what Shen Jinghua said, the middle-aged man nodded thoughtfully and said:
"In this way, this lockdown order should have been issued by the Huang Family using the power of the City Lord's Mansion!"
"This junior is also skeptical, but how did the Huang family bypass the senior brother, the city lord, to issue this seizure order?"
Regarding Shen Jinghua’s question, the middle-aged man showed a meaningful smile on his face and slowly said:
"You don’t know, Junior Brother, although the city lord of Yunbei City was directly confessed by the sect, the patriarchs of our five major families can also serve as the deputy city lord!"
Hearing these words, Shen Jinghua showed an unexpected look. Obviously, it was the first time he knew about this kind of thing.
But soon, he wanted to understand the reason.
Although this Yunbei City is directly controlled by the sect, most of the industries in this city are controlled by these five big families. Therefore, if Zongmen wants to manage this city well, they still have to rely on their five families.
Besides, the sect divides part of the rights to them, which can better promote the development of the city~lightnovelpub.net~Secondly, it can also allow them to restrict each other and facilitate the control of the city lord!
Thinking of this, Shen Jinghua looked at the middle-aged man in front of him a little strangely.
The family of his senior brother is already the first family of Yunbei City, and now he is recognized by the sect as the acting city lord of Yunbei City. This Song family seems to have become the greatest power in control of this Yunbei City!
……
After a few breaths, Shen Jinghua had already reacted and said to himself:
"I see!"
At this time, the middle-aged man also spoke again.
"You don’t have to worry about this, my younger brother, this seems to be a misunderstanding now.
A few days later, I will find an opportunity to help my younger brother make an appointment with the Huang family. Everyone has made the matter clear, and the matter will pass! "
"It is the best to be able to do this naturally, then thank you brother in advance!"
Shen Jinghua got up and thanked the middle-aged man.
Although he is not afraid of the Huang family, since he can solve it in such a gentle way now, he is very happy!
"You are polite, brother, we are all brothers in the same discipline, and mutual help should be done!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand indifferently, and there seemed to be a sneer under the smiling face that looked at Shen Jinghua.
His Huang Family is just the bottom of the five major families in Yunbei City, while Shen Jinghua is a promising master of formations, and has a considerable status in the sect.
It is easy to know which one is more important at a glance. For the benefit of the family, he naturally wants to help the latter to fight the former!
